fix: event polling to fetch and emit new events

[leonschh]

Description

Problem

packages/interfold-sdk/src/events/event-listener.ts had a bug in pollForEvents(): it only advanced lastBlockNumber without fetching or emitting logs. As a result, startEventPolling() could never trigger event callbacks.

This contradicts the documented behavior in docs/pages/sdk.mdx, which states that sdk.startEventPolling() can be used to poll logs over HTTP when WebSockets are unavailable.

Fix

• Fetch historical events for each subscribed event type between the last and current block.
• Emit fetched logs through the existing emit() pipeline.
• Extract buildEvent() to share event construction between polling and WebSocket watchers.
• Advance lastBlockNumber only after successful event processing.

The existing event tests in packages/interfold-sdk/tests/events.test.ts (Lines 87-91) confirm that emitted events are delivered to registered callbacks.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved contract-event monitoring to consistently normalize and emit events.
  • Polling now captures historical events across newly detected blocks, reducing the risk of missed event notifications.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The event listener now uses shared log normalization. Polling retrieves and emits historical events for registered event types before advancing the tracked block number.

Changes

Event listener updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalize and poll events packages/interfold-sdk/src/events/event-listener.ts	The listener now uses a private buildEvent helper to normalize contract logs. Polling retrieves and emits historical events for each registered type before advancing lastBlockNumber.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15–30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bf209

Polling now fetches and emits events, but custom watchers may receive events from the wrong contract, failed polls may deliver duplicate callbacks, and stopped polling may still emit events. These bounded correctness issues require follow-up before the change is merge-ready.

In `@packages/interfold-sdk/src/events/event-listener.ts`:
- Around line 259-260: Update watchContractEvent and the polling loop around
this.listeners and getHistoricalEvents to retain each watcher’s address and abi
alongside its event type, then pass that source metadata when fetching
historical events. Ensure logs and callbacks remain scoped to the subscribed
contract instead of resolving only the configured contract or merging same-named
event subscriptions.
- Around line 259-267: Update the historical event processing around
getHistoricalEvents and emit to first collect and normalize all events for every
listener eventType, without emitting during retrieval. Only after all queries
succeed, emit the complete buffered batch, then update lastBlockNumber so
retries cannot duplicate previously emitted callbacks.
- Around line 260-267: Update the polling loop around getHistoricalEvents so it
re-checks this.isPolling after the awaited request returns and before emitting
logs or assigning lastBlockNumber. If polling was stopped while the request was
in flight, discard the returned batch and skip the state update; preserve normal
emission and progress tracking when polling remains active.
